Congress hears testimony on MX consequences
The OTA warned MX missiles would need about 50 percent more size to stay ahead of Soviet warhead buildup. Rostow signaled a shift toward renewing arms talks while Pentagon officials debate basing the system in Nevada and Utah. The report argues no basing plan could ensure survivable MX missiles this decade and criticizes SALT II as flawed.
